A 1970 Re-release Vintage Unfolded English Double Crown Movie Poster (DC; measures 20" x 30" [51 x 76 cm]) (Learn More) Chelsea Girls, the 1966 Paul Morrissey & Andy Warhol New York City art house avant-garde melodrama (the film follows various residents of the legendary Chelsea Hotel in 1966 New York City, presented in a split screen with a single audio track in conjunction with one side of screen) starring Brigid Berlin, Randy Borscheidt, Christian Paffgen, Angelina 'Pepper' Davis, Dorothy Dean, Nico, Edie Sedgwick, International Velvet, and Mary Woronov. Note that the first release poster for this movie is as famous or more famous than the movie itself. It has an image created by Alan Aldridge that incorporates a very sexy naked girl with portions of the Chelsea Hotel, and is extremely "eye catching". Andy Warhol was extremely happy with the design, and he said he "wished the movie was as good as the poster"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Alan Aldridge Important Added Info: Note that when this movie was first shown in 1966, Alan Aldridge created a spectacular sexy poster image for the movie. Because it only played in a very limited number of theaters, very few posters were created. We do not know of any examples of that poster that have been auctioned or have been offered for sale, and it may be that none exist. In 1970, "Motif Editions" created this poster. Some say it was created and sold by Aldridge as a limited edition (and there are some examples known signed by Aldridge), and others say that there was a theatrical showing of the movie that caused the creation of the 1970 version of the poster. We can find no conclusive evidence to say for certain whether it is a theatrical re-release or an art print, so we are describing it as a "movie poster", but it is equally possible that it is an art print of the movie poster. We have never auctioned this poster before! Also note that this item contains some nudity, so we have placed a white bar over those areas for those who are bothered by such images. Of course, the actual item does not have the white bars. Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. It has a diagonal crease in the bottom left black corner and some faint creases scattered throughout the poster. We would think most people could happily display this poster as it is, or certainly, restoration could be performed. Learn More about condition grades
